Chemicals
These two subatomic particles are found in the nucleus: one has a positive charge and the other has no charge
What are: protons and neutrons?
These are the smallest units that can be called a living system and are the basic unit of life.
What are cells?
In organic chains, the individual subunits are called these, while the long chains themselves are called polymers
What are monomers?
This organelle is known as the "genetic HQ" because it houses the eukaryotic cell’s genetic instructions.
What is the nucleus?
These two identical structures make up a duplicated chromosome prior to cell division.
What are sister chromatids?
Organic molecules are characterized by having a backbone made of this specific element.
What is Carbon?
This is a group of organisms of the same species living in the same are at the same time.
What is a population?
This diverse group of hydrophobic biomolecules includes phospholipids, steroids, and triacylglycerols
What are lipids?
This structure is common to plant cells for photosynthesis but is not found in animal cells.
What is the chloroplast?
These two identical structures make up a duplicated chromosome prior to cell division.
What is the Synthesis phase?
This type of strong bond is formed when atoms are joined together because they are sharing electrons
What is covalent bonding?
Living organisms must use energy, respond to stimuli, and grow/develop, but they must also maintain this type of complex, organized state
What are the characteristics of living things?
These are the 20 different types of subunits that make up proteins
What are Amino Acids?
These organelles are the site of cellular respiration, where sugar is "burned" to produce ATP.
What is the mitochondria?
This term refers specifically to the division of the cytoplasm, which usually follows mitosis
What is cytokinesis?
This type of bond involves a complete transfer of electrons, resulting in oppositely charged atoms sticking together
What is ionic bonding?
These types of organisms, such as bacteria and archaea, lack internal membranes.
What are prokaryotes?
Nucleotides are composed of these three specific components.
What is phosphate, sugar, and base?
This network of fibers organizes structures and activities within the cell.
What is the cytoskeleton?
This event, which increases genetic diversity, occurs specifically during Prophase I of meiosis.
What is crossing over?
These are weak attractions between partially positive atoms and partially negative atoms of other molecules
What are hydrogen bonds?
The three tenets of cell theory.
What are all organisms are made of cells, the cell is the basic unit of life, and all cells come from pre-existing cells?
This happens to a protein if it is heated and loses its 3-dimensional structure, subsequently losing its biological function
What is denaturation?
This organelle is the cellular equivalent of a shipping department.
What is the Golgi apparatus?
This term describes chromosomes that have genes for the same traits at the same locations and move to opposite poles during Anaphase I.
What are homologous chromosomes?
